I came back yesterday from JFK and since you know once they took away RTD from me and then always sent me to secondary since they flagged me.
The officer first asked me how long I was gone for so i said 3 weeks. Then he scanned my GC and then looked and said "I think you need to go to Secondary" to which replied nicely...I was like why secondary? He said because you lost your RTD so I said but I never lost it and it was taken away from me by mistake and its not my fault and everytime I renter I have to go to secondary.
He looked at few notes and seemed to agree and stamped my NP & the customs form and said "Welcome home."
Then I was brave enough to ask him that If I will be sent to secondary everytime to which he said "It depends on the officer."
So the moral of the story is, if you are confident then you can speak out. Not saying be rude, I didn't really want to be stuck in NY JFK secondary after a 11 hour plane ride so I spoke out.\
I think now I dont care and I wll do my best to speak for my rights. As we have seen that asylee GC is so vunerable so why not fight for your rights if they are going to threaten to take it away from you "anyday"???
BTW I used NP and GC.
